En se fondant sur l’idee que la litterature hexaemerique s’avere etre le registre d’incessantes metamorphoses au cours des siecles refletant a la fois les priorites intellectuelles et les sensibilites religieuses changeantes des chretiens face a la Creation, nous focalisons notre attention sur l’Hexaemeron du poete byzantin Georges de Pisidie, qui constitue le fruit d’une synthese des traditions philosophico-religieuses anterieures dans une forme poetique visant une reformulation du sens de l’Hexaemeron a la lumiere du temps propre de l’auteur. Apres une breve presentation du cadre historique dans lequel le poeme a ete ecrit, nous etudions le caractere, les traits litteraires ainsi que la posterite de celui-ci pour ensuite concentrer notre analyse sur le titre, la structure, les themes majeures de l’Hexaemeron (autour du triptyque Nature-Dieu-Homme) et, finalement sur les sources paiennes et chretiennes dont Georges de Pisidie s’inspire pour mettre au jour une image dynamique du monde et de l’etre en celui-ci. Based on the idea that the hexaemeral literature records the incessant metamorphoses of the way Christians have faced Creation, which reflect both the changing of intellectual priorities and religious sensibilities over the centuries, we focus on the Hexaemeron of the Byzantine poet George of Pisidia. This Hexaemeron is the fruit of a synthesis of previous philosophicalreligious traditions in a poetic form, aiming to reformulate the meaning of the Hexaemeron in the light of author’s own time. After a brief presentation of the historical framework in which the poem was written, we study its character, literary traits as well as its posterity. Followingly, we concentrate on the title, the structure, the major themes of the Hexaemeron (around the triptych Nature-God-Human), and finally on the pagan and Christian sources from which George of Pisidia is inspired in order to bring to light a dynamic image of the world itself and of existence within it.
